Prolly ha.   But I did think Romero had accusations over the years of having a bad gas tank.

Yes.  But definitely looks far more fit.  Bo didn't exactly look like he had great cardio vs RDR, but much better last time out.

Romero is the ultimate genetic freak.

Given the Cuban genetics he is probably just now entering his athletic prime.

Fast twitch athletes burn lots of energy. All that speed and explosion has a price.

i assume you're talking about Bo?

[The_KC_Godfather]

He's 48, but still old (I can say that because I'm not there yet!).

And LOL at "skinny-fat Bo"

The story is often repeated on Rogan, but if people aren't familiar: Romero had an eye injury and the UFC arranged for him to see a top specialist.  The doc called Dana White (or whomever the UFC had handling the situation and said;

Doc: "Where did you get this guy? I can't believe what I am seeing."

White: "Oh yeah, he is a physical specimen! Can you believe he is over 40 and looks like this?

Doc: "No.  You don't understand. His extraocular muscles are three times as thick as I have ever seen."

 

BTW Romero did fail an USADA test; however he proved the supplement he used was tainted and won a 27 million dollar lawsuit.

Good matchup! Have both UFC and wrestling connections!

[Interviewed_at_Weehawken]

How about Bo vs Romero in dirty boxing next?

No, I'm talking about Yoel. I don't consider Bo to be a fast twitch athlete. I consider his gift a freakish ability to sense and react to pressure in awkward positions.

Holy crap would that be a good matchup! Well, not anymore since Mark is 65 and the last time I saw him he was in pretty rough shape (it's been a while, though). But if you brought Schultz from 30 years ago, Bo would get humbled real quick...

[NM1965]

What an idiotic way to make a living. Bo's brain, what there is of it, will get scrambled in MMA.

48 in Cuban years is 60 no?

Love the nickname. No Nickal...

[Hammerlock3]

Nickal breaks when the crowd doesn't support him fanatically just for existing, so this wasn't a good match up.
